Wes, 26, confirmed the news in an Instagram story where he apologised to fans for the sudden change but admitted it was all for a good reason.
The Say Nothing singer told his followers that he had landed an incredibly exciting new deal with Sony that would see him have his own record label, Foot Down Records, launched as an imprint under the Sony umbrella.
It will see him release his music under his own company whilst still being backed by industry giant Sony Music Entertainment.
As part of the deal, Wes, who rose to fame on Love Island in 2018, will be recording and releasing a slew of new track and as such has delayed his tour in order to be able to perform the new hits on the road.

Addressing his decision, the star said: "I'm really excited about my new venture with Sony and launching my own record label Foot Down Records.
"However, because we've just started that, the idea was to get brand new music out for tour so we are going to have to move the tour back."
He went onto re-affirm that tickets fans had purchased all remained valid and that further information would be dropping soon.
Wes continued: "We just wanted to get more music out because as it stands we haven't got enough to sort of make it a new tour.
